A Praiseworthy Experiment.

The great firm OF Wood, Morel & Co. OF
Johastown, Pa, have certainly reached the
most satisfactory solution OF the company
store question yet attained. That is the
conversion OF their store, probably the
lar"est of its class In the United States,
into cooperative establishment. This
up the store, into the position of partners
as well as customers. The sharing OF the
profits by the buyers will either make them
satisfied with high prices or their con-
troll as consumers can assure low
prices. In either way one OF the
most fruitful sources of dispute
where company stores exist is entirely re-
moved, and that establishment, instead OF
being a burden, 10 made blessing. We
hope to see this example generally followed.

rich land from previous manuring this
danger does not exist. For early pota-
toes the land can scarcely be made too
rich.
The crop, if marketed before rot, in
even the most unfavorable season, can do
serious injury. Fresh manure is often of
great benefit to early potatoes on land
that is amply fertile to produce crop
without it. As il ferments it keeps the soil
moist, which for early potatoes set during
the extreme heat of the summer Is point
of the greatest importance. Moisture is
apparently greater necessity in making
an early potato crop than fertility, though
rich SOILS are apt to keep more moist In
dry weather than those less fertile. The
most successful potato growers partially
insure their crop from severe drought by
subsoiling. This requires extra labor,
but the reservoirs of moisture thus stored
in the subsoil keep the potato tops fresh
and green long after those on land sub
seiled have withered from combined heat
and drouth. Subsoiling is a partial pro
lection against the potato blight. 1t
saves the plants from the sudden ex-
tremes of temperature which prevail in
shallow soils they being the most common
causes Of this blight.

Testing Seed.
Correspondence Practical Farmer
progress.

It is always best to test your seed, no
matter whether you have saved it your
self or not. Many farmers think that
when they save their own seed they are
then safe beyond doubt, and do not
give the matter any further attention, but
experience shows that this will not do to
depend on always. for there are so many
causes during the course of a winter, any
one of which would destroy the vitality of
the seed, that the farmer is not safe in
planting any crop of considerable size
without first testing the seed to see wheth-
er it is perfectly good or not.
This can be easily done by putting a
fair sample Of the seed in box of dirt,
placing the boz back of the kitchen stove
where it will be kept warm most of the
time. If the seed is good it will then
quickly sprout, if the dirt is kept warm
and moist. In this way the farmer is
enabled to act intelligently, and can
easily see just how good his seed is, and
whether it is safe to plant large crops
with it OR not.
1t is indeed very risky business to plant
large fields with seed that has not been
tested. The work is triding, and it is
but small Job to test it, yet it often
times results in saving a big loss.
With the small crops and the garden
vegetables it is not near SO important to
test the seed, but even then 1T would be a
good idea to test it all the same, as the
result would be so much more satisfactory
for all concerned.
Farmers can not expect to have con-
slant, steady improvement in their crops
unless they pay especial care to selecting
their own seed and having it we'll preserv-
ed IN some dry, .wellventilated place.
where there is no danger from decay or
mold. By such a plan of operation the
farmer knows just what to depend on,
and there is not then any liability of hav-
ing 70 suffer severe losses by having in
ferlor seeds passed off on him, which is
done more or less every year.
1t is not only safer, but also more eco
nomical, to save and test your own seed
as the expense is always quite large in
proportion to the amount of seed OBJ

Alfalfa in Montana.
Montana Live Stock Journal.

Montana Live Stock Journal
The cultivation of Lucerne, better,
known under the parish name Alfalfa
has spread widely within the asst few
years, and it's value as a food for all
kinds of stock is being rapidly apprecia-
ted. Alfalfa has been cultivated in south
ern California for centuries, and always
has been one of the most valuable of the
crops. The great advantage of this
plant AS a cattlefattener, as a milk pro-
Queer, as meass of increasing the wool
product, as being superior to most plants
for hogs, and, above all, as being safe
crop on all kinds of land, irrigated or
otherwise, has drawn attention to it and
caused its merits to be thoroughly m
vestigated. This plant will, in a large
degree, if successfully acclimated, affect
the question of stock raising in this ter
ritory. The native grasses are good, bat
they do not produce as heavily under
cultivation as alfalfa and are liable to
total destruction. The wild grasses do
not survive civilization, and disappear
when they are most needed. Alfalfa has
| been raised with success in this Terri
tory, and if there have been any failures,
| it should not be abandoned. tits alto
gether too valuable forage plant to be
given up without fair trial. It should
be given the best soil, heavily MANFRED,
! and the seed drilled in at the rate of
eight to ten pounds per acre. 1t should
be cut very sparingly, if at all the first
| year. This treatment will soon demons
trate its suitability for Montana. 1t is
claimed that it will grow on all kinds of
land under fair conditions, The success
it has met with all through the South
i'm presses us with the desire to give it q
fair trial here and carefully watch its
progress.

man stands at the door and with an eagle
eye watches to see that none of the sales

Every package and bundle that is carried

it can be taken from the store. A girl

A Gainful Occupation

No wonder janitOrs are a high and
naughty class. From a financial point
of view. if we are to believe ex-Alderman
position, it is better to be doorkeeper
IN an insurance building than to dwell
in the tents of the average employer.
The janitor of the Equitable building is
quite CAPITALIST in its way, and it is not
a small way either. He owns shares in
two schooners. He has three houses that
bring him in 5000 month. He has a
safe in the building where he SERVES"
and at times there is as much as $4,000
IN his strong box. The ''safe" dwindled
under cross-examination to "a small tin
box" kept in trunk in his rooms though
there is a safe deposit company in the
building; but the prosecution failed to
shake him from this story that the $4,000
has been there, some of it in 81 1000 bills.
In addition to this floating cash, ne has
money out on mortgage, and he carries
an account at a national bank and at four
or i've savings banks-a bank more Or
less, what matters it? One item in his
inventory we accept without reserve. He
said that he had a contract to furnish the
tenants of the building with ice, and that
he made something by supplying the
tenants with clean towels at fifty cents
dozen. Not doubt of it, One way or
another Janitor Cleary claims that he can
put by.'from $500 to 800 month on his
income" and after reading his statement
We are rather surprised that he did not
build the Broadway Railroad for himself.
